Подробнее +This note compares institutional arrangements for water resource management in two river basins, namely, those of the Susquehanna River in the United States and the Changjiang (Yangtze River) in China. The Susquehanna River Basin Commission is composed of the US federal government and the three states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland through which the Susquehanna River passes. Under the authority of the Susquehanna River Basin Compact, the Commission deals with water resource problems throughout its vast drainage area. In contrast, the Water Resources Commission of the Yangtze River, which runs through nine provinces and two provincial-level municipalities, has no representative of those provinces in the Commission. The Commission is under the authority of Ministry of Water Resources. As a result, Yangtze River Commission is relatively ineffective in mobilizing provincial governments in cross-boundary water resource management.
